Golf Players

Is he the nicest tour pro in the world?



Hi guys, thank you for stopping by to check out the video.

This video was filmed in May this year (2024) at Serengeti Estates In Johannesburg. A fantastic residential estate all round with a cracking golf course designed by the big man himself, Jack Nicklaus.

We were so fortunate to be able to play with Kyle Barker, who is genuinely one of the nicest tour pro’s I have met and was truly generous with his time.

This is 1 of 3 x 6 hole videos we filmed on the day.

I hope you enjoy the video.

the challenge tour yeah and he’s done super well this last year two wins done really well in the order of Merit so playing some good golf so I think today we can go of the L’s quite low I’m going to predict 8 under 3 six oh my goodness okay eight under 3 six two Eagles and four birdies okay this is good so let’s see if we can do it wait two Eagles and four birdies is eight that’s what I said right is that right let’s go oh my god let’s do it okay Dan the line here should be just left of the flag perfect wind’s in off the left so just give it a rip on that line love it the boy has started incredibly boom jeez that thing was milk I think I’ve just run into the Tracer but anyway it’s I got so excited oh same thing again hold I’ll get it back watch it I think I’m moving too far left again Bud yeah which makes me get super steep it’s got to turn that upper body through the ball cheers Legend it’s going to be a good video hey guys this estate is beautiful so if you are coming out to South Africa Serengeti estate is 20 23 minutes from the airport is there accommodation there um no but there’s going to is it yeah it’s awesome I’m sure they’re going to build a hotel sh next time we’re going to stay over going to play this on the number um probably just left of the flag it looks exceptional spun look decent no reaction no reaction no reaction probably like jeez I’d say it’s about 10 to 15 foot long of a hole hard crowd to please eh yeah okay look decent I jeez oh my word that’s class bro classy golf shot okay so that you have that spin did you hear that thing that was nice I was like sh okay so we got this um for for birdie to go one under through one in this challenge come on come on man okay so we you know when you need a good start that’s a good start okay what have you got Brew right so we here on the 13th hole at Serengeti of the ladies teaser we got 219 to the flag downwind down the par four um um straight over water it’s basically almost half an island green I’m going to be hitting a six on here um and I’ll be going just right at the flag so yeah let’s make some Eagles what club you got six on six on be good come lift yeah that’s perfect just that’s one just right of the green maybe on maybe on was a good strike yeah that looked nice okay okay guys I got five on and stad so one more go straight at it Dan yeah let’s go straight at it bit of a cut this is the right Club trust it’s a perfect Club make a nice swing oh get on Just short I can’t even see it I think is it short or on it looked good one of us is on I’m sure good swing yeah brilliant one of us is on okay what are you saying bro okay so it’s a bit uphill it’s got about two or three brakes to it in opposite directions it’s a bit of a tricky putt but um nothing’s impossible we can definitely hold this thing so this would be for Eagle this is for Eagle at the end it’s definitely going to move left to right okay so yeah let’s um oh let’s give it a go my camera woman’s returned com com okay slow down slow down and come right slow down no that’s slow y that’s fine not bad not bad gave it a chance do so it’s actually just a double Breakdown off the right and then at the end comes back left to right so I just need to start it a bit further right just start it a bit further right yeah so what straight at the hole almost yeah maybe just more right just a bit more right about a foot right okay oh come on come on what a pot okay brilliant pot just need a bit more brilliant P nice that’s going to give us hopefully should be 200 under through two two under through two Center left part Center left yes boy nice and simple brilliant birdie get in there right thanks boy players champion yeah my dad actually made this for me did he actually yeah well you got someone to make it for me that’s awesome like a laser one of those yeah I see what I’ve seen them um getting it done yeah it’s really cool as you see it get made [Laughter] sick oh no okay okay 88 downhill by 2 is 86 wind helping by five from this distance 81 want to land it about 80 and skip it little Skipper Ry yes go oh no no that is a weak golf shot it needed a meter sorry bro no [ __ ] BR it’s like so it’s got to be next to to the flag basically I’m a little bit better long than I am short then perfect 100% I think that’s the give us a putt done the same thing go ah go all right gave up on it eh I saw you quit on it yeah and I nearly blinded myself [ __ ] I sh the bed a bit I sorry I beeped the team a bit no I beeped the bed a bit and didn’t help the team it’s okay we’re going to chip this in bro I like our I like our chances here also we’ve also started um introducing the world to Brew brew BR y Bru okay come on bro in BR get in get in [Music] H okay ah so close almost so close I’ll give us the PA all right come on Dan Chip it in my boy come on break lovely lovely chip close I thought it would break more cuz yours broke yeah okay great chip got a paw we’ll take the Paw it’s a little bit not as like you don’t have as much of advantage on like maybe a par three yeah but cuz it’s just a shot but we were closer what hole is this 16 three holes left okay two so far yeah so we got uh we 200 under through three of the red te’s here at serengetti um we got three holes left 16 17 18 very very birdi B holes possibly Eagle very much so yeah so now five we’re about 150 M ahead of the back te 378 par five slightly into the wind but 378 so a short Par Four effectively yeah um it would be so this is going to be good so we should have just a short little chip wedge in yeah okay we’re good to go good I made a nice full wood straight down there that just freaking looks perfect but I don’t know should be good yeah came out a bit low sting it sting of wood cuz then it just disappears so is at the flag okay bud perfect yeah oh that that’s a perfect t-shot bro is it good yeah that should be perfect come on boy yo that was nice that was better 116 into by 15 130 but also pitch behind and then suck back you got to pitch it behind so I’m going to actually hit a a 46 that’s perfect wedge yeah so I’m going to hit a wedge and it’s going to hopefully I’m going to hit this like comfortably 116 to the flag Into The Wind by 15 yeah 131 131 pitched five past 136 okay 136 shot is perfect yeah you can go straight at us oh wow that good S A oh BR what a shot though yeah what a shot that thing was pure yeah I just thought I would go further past I thought that would have gone past as well yeah I think cuz I’m hitting it a bit higher the wind caught it a bit yeah it’s not quite low enough that ball flight that’s better go past hard now suck yes keep coming oh that’s fine on the green like 15t for Eagle that’s for Eagle laer come on let’s box that come on boy maybe your CHP might even be easier but we’ll have to go see let’s have a look good sh shot guys we CL there little bit of an eagle P maybe a chip we’ll see what happens but either or we need an eigo we need to finish with three eagles three eagles that’s like two okay so up to you brew you can putt first or I I don’t mind I’ll go first yeah okay we got a nice 15 footer or so here for Eagle um I feel like it’s it’s a bit off the left eh it’s going to be pretty quick should be a good line I’m going to take it about a foot left D [ __ ] hell finish right behind the hole I’ve got the thing that you went over okay we’ve secured the birdie okay I’m pretty sure I’ve got the line come on Dan roll it in please okay go go oh no what was that what even was that dude that’s a brain F was [ __ ] terrible ah Tapp in the bird sorry BR have you got it yeah I got the bird okay that was terrible BR maybe we can get double nice okay okay three under through four oh not bad look I mean Eagles are difficult to make right my dad always used to say if you make a fart and it makes a noise like that he’s like speak to me you too truthless wonder truthless wonder goodness gracious what you got seven wood or fourwood seven seven wood it’s my 250 Club what have you got so driver for you goes about what 280 290 290 carry then then I got four wood which goes 270 okay so 20 M then seven wood goes 250 yeah another 20 then I’ve got a 10 wood right which goes 235 okay and then five on so you don’t have the driving irons of that kind of struggle to launch them yeah you can see everything you do is quite low everything yeah it’s pretty low it’s good in linkx golf yeah it’s lacker I’m going to launch this one actually Dan as he says I don’t launch it I’m going to launch this one bring it in from the right oh that is one of the N that’s the best golf shot I’ve seen today turn get left oh no it’s a BD right is that on might be might be just short cuz I saw it land on the hill but I don’t know if that Hill is see wind’s changed a bit now so I don’t think I would have got there I’m just going to hit the same driver that I hit on the last hole with your little cut yeah the wind’s going to hold it nicely that’s my thinking and it should land on the green and stop love it sweet okay but we got to do all the things right first which we can do why not oh my word cut wind’s holding it eh yeah cut that was a great shot that’s that was better even though it might be in the bunker but there’s no way Tuan was getting anywhere near for me good call to switch Eagle chance yeah the seven would actually got onto the green I’m quite surprised yeah so I reckon what would be wild is doing $8 like this and seeing what we can shoot we’ll go deep Bro yeah proper we’ll go so low great drive he Dan thanks dude yeah it’s said pitched it would have been I wonder if it would have stopped on the green what do you reckon 100% you reckon yeah it was such a nice flight would have just stopped we’ve actually got a tricky put here another long Eagle putt um it’s going to be breaking from the left and yeah flags at the back we lying right in the front of the green so we can just get the pace right hopefully we got the right line and it’ll drop shop shop it’s a tricky putt this eh yeah it looks a bit like um you got to get it up that slope there if you leave it short it’s going all the way off the green so you got to keep it left and then it’ll just feed down at the end while it dies and just hope it catches the right slope yeah I got you see not that slope not that slope that’s off the green oh my o oh my gosh see what I mean yeah okay I’m going to go further left yeah you got to keep it left oh no I’m going to go further left I think I just de greened it jeez okay okay okay I’m just going to go like a meter left and I hope it’ll just feed down at the end yeah do you know what I mean like just straight over like and yeah me to left yeah come on now come down yeah perfect see what you mean though like I know why you went stra now it’s like on a ridge when you hit it I was like I was thinking why is he going so straight but then now I hit it left and it doesn’t come yours was a better better myth than mine I think we take your part e uh I think so 100% but it’s going to it’s definitely going to be a little slider three jab three jab this is not on we will never Tre J never dying in I’m I’m thinking eh as in that that’s the pace I’m going to so it’s going to go away at the bottom again though don’t you think or is it going to keep coming to the right it’s a tricky one eh actually going to exactly like you said it’s going to hold at the end so it’s going to do that and then that yeah it’s going to go right and then left left yeah lifted perfect yeah with a nice die Pace D the man that’s the one D the man come on okay four under through five one hole to play guys come on D let’s see if we can Eagle the last yeah let’s see if we can do it come on come on come on a downwind about 359 guys uh 359 to the front downwind to the back to the back what’s it to the front um we got to go right to the flag here cuz there’s water short left short lift short lift short lift it’s got far giveness this is a ladies driver by the way no yeah what do you mean a ladies driver it’s a ladies driver what do you mean it’s the tiess ladi’s driver tsr1 12° no this is actually built for ladies what’s different in it though that so the center of gravity is here at the back okay which promotes High launch more spin interesting and it’s a draw bias driver um so it’s actually it’s built for 90 mph Club at speed and Below but then you come in at million I wasn’t allowed to use it at first but then I had to win a tournament to show them that I could use it really yeah but since I’ve changed to this driver my my scores have just dropped tremendously cuz I’m hitting more Fairways got way got more shots to the green which equals more birdie opportunity 100% okay so um you see this bird here middle Fairway yeah you got to go the one on the right and the the one bites Ace you got to go just right of it okay but you’re hitting a draw I’m going to hit a draw think we got to yeah we got to finish the ball just right of this bird okay I understand I’m going to cane this one huge draw is that okay not entirely sure might be huh I don’t think [Music] so it’s fine R Danny Boy’s got you come on boy got you just hit it up to the right at those trees there oh yes oh yes that’s perfect perfect right there that’s okay perfect shot Beauty I try to give it a loft I think it was high in the face that was nice at least we safe okay guys so we’re taking Dan’s drive here um I hit mine into the water wasn’t the best swing tried to hit it too hard um but Dan saved us yeah he’s hit a peer down the middle we’ve got 84 to the flag downwind this flag is now tucked it’s like 3 m from the water so we need to be very precise with this we shot 84 playing what do you reckon 80 exactly yeah yeah it’s probably going to help about four from here I really hope you make it cuz be cool to come and watch you in the open so awesome dude okay 80 okay come on boy 80 m to the flag let’s go straight at it let’s not be shy get in the hole s come back back oh it’s coming come okay we’ve got one on that’s a great shot we got to look we got to look it’s a tough shot he was dressing there bro it’s a tough W shot this bro yeah but I definitely I I committed which was nice yeah I’m going to land I’m going to get very aggressive on this love it I’m going to try land it like a meter short and try hold this thing for us right come on baka go go don’t kick right shot too aggressive I like yours yeah dud okay I think it’s definitely shorter I like that you like this one yeah this is breaking more isn’t it that’s going to this a tricky part that’s going to snap at the end 100% okay what are we sitting Bru three under four four under yeah we’re four under through five so we need this to go 5 under through six yeah bit off the right yeah I like that as well come on let’s do this let’s do it come right jeez Bud that snaps I did not see that at all where did you go at I went like I went up here [ __ ] you know I went up there yeah okay I’ll tap in for the par hey hey y y okay okay guaranteed 4 under through six come on Dan let’s end the video on a high break no it’s it
